That is very interesting information. We have 2 V40s on the fleet. Both 16 reg and with the new diesel engine.

One of them had repeated issues with the engine about 18 months to 2 years ago. Repeated engine management light issues and eventually the entire engine was removed and replaced. The driver had a Volvo UK car for the duration.

The other one, as I mentioned earlier on in the thread, has very recently had engine management light on and was diagnosed with a failed inlet manifold. The dealers were happy for it to continue to be driven. About 2 weeks later it went back in and had the new manifold fitted.

Both are high mileage motorway cars doing circa 35k miles per annum so shoudln't be sooting up. That said both drivers pay for their own fuel so maybe they are just tickling the car along in 6th at 1500 rpm all the time.....

I wonder if both cases are related to this issue?
